Rock View

Rock View is a three-bedroom cottage in Trethurgy, near St Austell, sleeping six with two bathrooms. The cottage has an open fire, a BBQ, and an enclosed garden. Dogs are welcome, which - combined with the inland setting - makes it a practical choice for active breaks in mid-Cornwall through winter months.

Three bedrooms sleep six with two bathrooms. Wi-Fi, parking, dishwasher, and washing machine are all provided. The open fire in the living room is the standout winter feature. Saturday changeover; the property has 10 reviews on Sykes with a rating of four out of five.

Carlyon Bay Beach is 3.6km - a wide south-facing sandy bay with consistent summer surf. Charlestown, the Georgian harbour village used as a frequent film set (Poldark, Hornblower), is 4.1km and worth an afternoon on foot. The Eden Project is under 4km from the cottage and draws over a million visitors a year. Porthpean Beach, a quieter family cove managed by the local sailing club, is 5km. St Austell town centre is 3km for supermarkets and transport links.

Best for families or dog owners wanting an inland cottage with fire and garden within easy reach of St Austell and mid-Cornwall's attractions. Less good for guests prioritising a coastal location.
